The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Procedures: <Formatting characters>
 
Use the Format Character command to change the
appearance of the characters in your document.
You can change the <font>, <point size>, or
color of your text, or choose from a number of
<formatting> options.
 
■ You can apply character formatting quickly
  using <speed formatting keys>. For example,
  to make text bold, select the text and press
  Ctrl+B.
 
■ To see the formatting appear on the screen as
  it will when printed, use the View Preferences
  command to set the display mode to a graphics
  option. (Note: Your computer and monitor must
  have graphics capability.) In text mode,
  formatting is indicated by colors.
